Vivek Chopra	Wednesday 31 March 2004 4:17:13 pm I need some help in extending the user class. I am extending the user class to add the address in the user registration form. I added Address as a text field. It shows up ok on the form and stores the data as well. But it doesn't add those fields to the emails. I want to include the user name and the address in the feedback and confirmation emails. Need some guidance. I am on eZ3.3 TIA, Vivek
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Thursday 01 April 2004 4:43:18 am Hi Vivek, For this purpose, you need to make an override of the user/registrationinfo.tpl template where you include the address info. Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Vivek Chopra	Thursday 01 April 2004 8:20:29 am Hi Eirik, Thanks for your reply. I understand that I need to override the registrationinfo.tpl and registrationfeedback.tpl files. But the question is how do I call the address value in these templates. The login is called by user.login and email by user.email. I have dumped all the attributes and thier values for user variable. The address attribute is not present in the user variable. I am guessing the address is being stored in $contentobject_attribute array in the user variable. How do I get the value in the template files. Thanks again Vivek
Paul Forsyth	Thursday 01 April 2004 8:43:12 am Would this tutorial be of use? http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/tutorial_using_userregister It was written a while ago but it still works fine for 3.3 :) paul
Vivek Chopra	Thursday 01 April 2004 10:55:06 am I read this tutorial but didn't find it of much help. register.tpl doesn't need to be overridden since the new fields show up fine without overriding the templates. I didn't understand the ezurl.tpl modifications in the tutorials. Vivek

Iain MacLean	Saturday 03 April 2004 2:59:27 am Hi Vivek I've been trying to figure this out myself. How did you do it? Regards Iain
Vivek Chopra	Thursday 08 April 2004 11:26:56 am I didn't have to override register.tpl as mentioned in the tutorial. I did override the registrationfeedback.tpl which sends out the email. I called the newly added fields in the user class as: Address:{attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.contentobject.data_map.address}. Hope this helps. Now the question is, I am adding forum on my site and users need to register for that. Can I have different signup form/user class for that? Vivek
